Hiya,
I found a plugin for the wiki which would allow it to use the forum user database. I'm not sure whether or not I'd like to use it.
Right now we mostly get two types of user registrations on the wiki:
1. spammers
2. people who want to join the forum and don't understand that the wiki and forum are separate entities.
Pro's about using forum users for the wiki:
1. I don't have to keep track of user registration requests from two different places (wiki and forum)
2. Weeding out spam accounts registered with the forum also covers the wiki
3. All our registered users can edit the wiki
Con's about using forum users for the wiki:
1. Adding another plugiin means more effort when I upgrade the wiki software (mediawiki)
2. All our registered users can edit the wiki
Thoughts?

I would say keep it as is.

Re: Wiki plugin
I don’t like the idea that anyone can edit it .
A lot of effort was put into it . Someone with a gripe could destroy it.

I pretty much feel the same way as Yummy .....letting anyone who wants access it seems fraught with danger.
A lot of good work could be undone very quickly by the wrong person.

That’s a big risk to take..
